This is my adorable 2 year old granddaughter,Maddie.Now how can anyone in their right mind look at this beautiful little girl,and tell her you don't want her anymore and just sign her rights away as a mother?Well as i write this,i am in tears because i just cannot believe my irresponsible duaghter did that.I have never met this charming little toddler,but i am so in love with her,i have been since i saw her baby pictures.What really hurts the most is,even though i am the baby's grandmother,i am not allowed to ever see her.****in tears****,sorry.
 
She is beautiful. I look at my baby girl and I can't go one day without her. Now I'm in tears.... :hug: I'm so sorry.
 
I am not sure if you want to pursue them, but you DO have rights as a grandparent, as much trouble as I see this baby getting in if she is left where she is, I would focus all of my energy into getting custody of her, in my area there was a baby that had 2 sets of grandparents wanting custody because both parents died in a car accident, one set that doesn't live in this area and just took the baby will most likely loose her because they move around so frequently, that's it. With the emotional trauma this child could suffer, I wouldn't stop until I had breathed my last breath or spent my last penny to make sure she was in the best home possible, even if it weren't mine, I did this with my daughter, and something I don't tell many people.... I did spend my last pennies, we ended up homeless for almost a year because I had to pay a lawyer instead of my bills, (real considerate of her irresponsible father who only wanted her so he wouldn't have to pay child support) I was in court instead of at work, I have FULL custody of her now, no visitation unless I agree to it and her father is still in debt to the tune of 5 grand in child support, it took alot out of me, it was harder than anything I have ever done in my life, my family turned their backs on me, but I can live knowing I did everything possible to make sure she is in the right place. Her father is bipolar, refuses to take his meds, has about 7 different children with 5 different ladies, my daughter was his first and she is only 12, he moves all over and currently lives with his girlfriend, NOT WIFE, he had plans to give my daughter to his equally irresponsible sister to raise while he collected child support from me. Anyhow, long hard story, but she is where she belongs now.
 
By the way, Maddie is absolutely adorable, she looks like she has a lot of spunk! I will keep her and you in prayer, I really hope this whole situation works out and you will finally be able to meet her and spend time with her, and truly keep in mind, kids are very in the moment, it's no big deal if she doesn't know you yet, have faith that she will and go from there, she is a cutie patootie!
 
She looks so sweet. :kiss:
 
I happen to lovingly call her "the devil in diapers".But according to my mom,Maddie's great-grandma,she is totally charming.

And thank you all for the compliments on her cuteness.I just wish everyday her life gets better and i say a prayer to God to answer my silent prayer in a good way.

just out of curiousity, why do you call her the devil in diapers? she IS beautiful :). and did her mother sign away the rights so maddie could have a better life?
 
We lovingly call her the "devil in diapers" because she is a typical 2 year old who is fearless.I mean her mom and great-grandma used to think it was "cute" for Maddie to jump from a coffee table to the sofa and back.Well..what if she were to slip and crack her head open and die?She is a normal 2 year old little toddler and no one wants to try and potty train her.How sad.
The reason Maddie's mama signed over her rights is because mama has decided that she DOES NOT want to be a mama anymore and she would rather go bar hopping.That is a backwards priority in my eyes.Kids come first.Maddies needs were being ignored.She hasn't been weaned off the bottle,that is mama's job to help get off the bottle and drink from a sippy cup.And how hard is it to potty train a little adorable girl?I raised 3 as a single mom and it wasn't hard.
But Maddie is an angel and i am afraid she is going to be shuffled around.Maddie's irresponsible mom has no remorse for her actions.She signed her right off the day before Maddie's 2nd birthday which was on February 14.
 
Sounds like Maddie is better off without her so called mom by far. Who did she sign her over to? and are they any better equiped to raise her? Am so sorry for your loss in not being allowed to know and be with this beautiful child am sure there is a story explaining why your daughter doesn't want you around her imagine it has to do with difference of opinions on how to raise a child but whatever the cause I am sorry and just pray Maddie finds a good home
 
If she gets in a better home it's for the best. I didn't start potty training my 2 year old until he was 3 b/c he wasn't ready yet. Actually he was afraid of heights so he didn't walk till he was 2. He would stand up look down, scream and fall to the ground. It's funny now. It wasn't then. He is 3 1/2 now and still not potty trained. (although he did go #2 in the potty last night!) as far as everything else. I support giving children up for adoption all the way. My co-worker gave her daughter up and a very wealthy family got her. And she is WELL loved and will never know what it's like to need for anything. To me it's better than abusing them or getting them taken by HRS and given to people that are only in it for the money (80 percent of foster parents). Sadly alot do it for money because it's good money :(. I hope everything turns out great for her. She IS beautiful and I'd take her in a minute. My kids have NO idea what pain is :-). And I DONT drink or smoke ANYTHING!

One of the reasons why i am not allowed to see Maddie is because my ex-MIL does not like me.She has a bipolar disorder and when she hasn't taken her medicine,she is a nightmare to everyone.My daughter Nikki,who lives with us,has been subjected to grandma's outbursts.She threw a full bowl of hot soup at Nikki,and missed.We(my husband and i)have also been subjected to her outbursts.
So my daughter Amanda,Maddie's mom just will not let me see her.My mom thinks Maddie is fine where she is.Excuse Me!???
Me thinks not!!!!My daughter signed Maddie over to my ex-MIL because she would rather drink everynight,than to teach Maddie how to read,or potty train her,and even wean her off of her nighttime bottle and put her on a sippy cup.
Maddie will tell anyone,that when she has pooped,"i stinky" and can actually take her own diaper off.
 
Sorry. :(

<<<<<<<<hugs>>>>>>>>>

I feel your pain. I was a shelter parent(the ones who don't get paid) to a child that was dropped in my arms @ 3 months and left. Mom went to use to payphone and never came back. I had him for a year before his Mistreating grandma who never came to visit the kid the whole time found out she could get paid to kept him because she is a relative. She got custody. I haven't seen him since. I thought I was doing the right thing by taking him to visit his g-ma once I found out where she lived. BIG mistake. Her only child is in prison right now for throwing his other infant against a wall. Now she will ruin this other kids life too. Anyways, After having the kid for a year, I forgot he wasn't mine and he started calling me Mama (on his own). My son started calling him brother. And it was love. So I know in a sense how you feel and all I can do is <<<<<<<<hug>>>>>>>> and kept yall in my prayers!
 
antdrewsmom.....i am in tears when i read your post.I am sorry about the baby being taken from you like that.
There isn't a day that i cannot stop thinking about her.She is always in my mind.I would love to take her and make her my daughter.My husband and i cannot have any children.
My daughter Nikki loves Maddie.And Maddie calls Nikki "icky" because she can't say Nikki.
I am very upset at Maddie's mama.By looking at her picture,how can you just decide to walk away from her,when that little girl LOVES her mama dearly.Its sad,but in my heart i keep saying a prayer that God will make this beautiful toddler my girl.He does make miracles happen.
 
I pray because you love your granddaughter so much, you will see her again
 
Thank you rhon.I need all of the prayers i can get.
 
Thank you antdrewsmom.She is always in my heart.
